What does basic furniture equipment mean?

The basic furnishings include all the furniture you really need in everyday life to live comfortably.
Not everything has to be perfect right away – what's important is that the foundation is right.

👉 Tip: Start with the most important furniture and add more later as needed.

Basic furniture for the living room 🛋️

The living room is usually the central room of the apartment.

Indispensable:

  • Sofa or couch (2- or 3-seater, possibly a sofa bed)

  • coffee table or side table

  • TV furniture / lowboard

Optional:

  • armchair or stool

  • shelf or sideboard

👉 Especially with sofas , B-stock is worthwhile, as small visual defects are hardly noticeable, but the price advantage is significant.

Basic bedroom furniture 🛏️

Here, sleeping comfort is paramount.

Indispensable:

  • Bed

  • mattress

  • bedside table or storage area

Useful addition:

  • Wardrobe or chest of drawers

  • Topper for more comfort

Optional:

  • bank

  • Sideboard for dishes
